Coupon Report Overview
The Coupon Report displays a list of store and manufacturer coupons that provide discounts on a specific product or purchase amount. These coupons are funded either by the retail store or the product manufacturer, and the store does not lose money when a customer uses one.
Different types of filters can be configured, and the system will display specific transaction records only according to the selected filter options. The reports will be displayed and distributed in several fields with automatically calculated information.

Let's see how to check the coupon data by grouping it into locations or location groups.
You will see a "Group By Location" drop-down from which you can select either "Location" for grouping the coupon-related data. By default, "None" will be selected, which implies the report data will be displayed without any grouping.
- By Locations: If you select "Location," the data will be displayed in the grouping according to the locations (stores) individually. Once the location-specific report is generated, you can check the coupon-related data as per the locations.
